We're dividing 308738 by 81 
We want to figure out the number of times 308738 can be divided by 81.

Moving on to step 1:
81 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 81

Let's proceed to step 2:
81 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 308 / 81

Going ahead to step 3:
308 divided by 81 is 3 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 243 from 308 leaves us with 65.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 65, then repeat: 657 / 81

Advancing to step 4:
81 can be fit into 657 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 648 from 657 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 93 / 81

Advancing to step 5:
93 divided by 81 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 381.0
Subtract 81 from 93 to get 12.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 128 / 81

Advancing to step 6:
81 can be fit into 128 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3811.0
Deduct 81 from 128 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 7:
81 goes into 470 5 times with a remainder of 65.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3811.5
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 405 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 650 by 81, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3811.58
If we take 648 away from 650, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
81 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3811.58
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
81 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3811.5802
If we subtract 162 from 200, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 380 by 81, we get 4 and a remainder of 56.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3811.58024
Deduct 324 from 380 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
81 can be fit into 560 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3811.580246
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 486 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 81 fits into 740 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3811.5802469
If we subtract 729 from 740, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
110 divided by 81 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3811.58024691
If we take 81 away from 110, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

The final result is 3811.58024691 with a remainder of 2.9e-08.
